If 100k can protest in Washington, then 3-5 k should be able to go to a football game.

He was 100% correct, what more do you want.

I want to say congratulations to Fight on for William Blount 91 for getting his college degree from the University of Tennessee. The guy worked hard going after this working crazy hours and doing the stuff most of us wouldn't to accomplish this. Congrats good buddy.

Agree totally. No difference between the two parties. Both want socialism but just at different speeds. That is why both hate Trump because he is not part of their process.

Saturday Night I went to the local Dollar General at 9 p.m. and must of been at least 40 people in that place and I didn't see one person with a mask at all and even the employee's. As I was getting ready to get in line I could hear a a big lard azz woman coughing her head off in an isle over from me with no mask. There were three people in front of me as I stood 6 feet behind them and two younger guys came up from behind me and stood right on my back and I told them either get in front of me or back off so they took my invitation and went ahead which I didn't care but they knew I was mad. Soon as they did a woman who heard the whole thing go down moved right on up and took their place. I couldn't wait to get out of there before somebody hit my go to jail switch. When I got to my truck and sat there a minute as I cooled down and I thought of how irresponsible that whole thing was it came clear to me this isn't the only place this is going on. Everyone has let their guard down and my first thought was this will be the end of high school football for 2020. Those that know me well are on my facebook page and saw where i posted on this incident Sunday morning only to be met with I'm not wearing a mask and all the other nonsense they've heard from who knows who. I knew from the beginning there wouldn't be a football season in 2020 because there would be an extended period when the rush of idiots came out of hiding. I'm a realist and know you can't depend on most human beings for anything so what happened with the extended period out to August 29th is no surprise to me at all. As we get closer to that time we'll see another extension and have to make plans to move football to spring. Hopefully they can come up with a cure for this stuff in the meantime so life can return to normal. If not I have doubts even on a 2021 season.

my god. You know this country is in bad shape when people are getting “offended” by a High School’s nickname smh. I’m about to start a petition that I’m offended by people laying on their couch collecting a check instead of getting off their lazy behinds and going back to work! Who’s with me?

I never had any beef with him either until I called out the “Almighty” Powell Panthers for recruiting on here and then he went off. Keep in mind this is the same Powell he has “no association with anymore” lol. The OLD saying goes Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. There has been smoke at Powell not 1, but 2 years in a row now. Draw your conclusion there yourself. As for OR, they have all the tools to compete this year to go to State IMO.

Libtards and Democrats are destroying this great country. Little by little. It's amazing what pussified people we have any this country now.

With Lee just extending the no contact through end of July football is over this fall and I am outraged. What can we do? Should we go looting our local Wal-Mart.

The Chief Executive at every level of government under a federal system of government has broad powers to make executive orders. President at the National level, Governor at the State and County Mayors at the county level. Courts have upheld these unless they are an unconstitutional order. Courts have avoided overturning these orders as they are bordering on infringing on the concept of separation of powers which is considered a building block of a representative democracy. Long story short, zero chance of a lawsuit over high school sports.

Especially for a Democratic hoax where 15 people had it and it was going to be gone in a SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I've tried to tell people there are no 2 sides in this politic thing, its pure Government, They argue an fuss in public to try and make us think they are opposite,in private they laugh their rear ends off at how gullible we are. Its untelling who and where this Chinese flu came from but I highly doubt our Country will ever recover from it. This thing has MANY legs.

We could say that is the best case scenario but we don’t really know that or what the worst case scenario is for that matter. None of us know what will happen in the coming weeks. I learned a long time ago not to worry about things I can’t control. We all just need to sit back and wait and see how this unfolds and not automatically expect the worst.

I agree it is premature to make decisions in June about something that is 2 months away. No one knows with certainty where we will be at that time. Perhaps the numbers go way down. Maybe we learn something new about the virus that makes it easier to combat. Maybe they develop a vaccine. Or maybe it is really bad and we have to shut everything down again. The bottom line is no one knows. If we do not prepare to be ready to play, then we probably cannot even if we get the chance. Let’s prepare for and hope for the best and choose the best course of action when we get there.

Difference between a man made trial is reasonable doubt,The Man upstairs at the final judgement wont need no testimonies from any other but you!HE KNOWS THE ANSWER.In the Bible it tells us we know what we need to know,some things are a mystery that will be answered when it needs be.pujo all you need to know is that you KNOW!Other things are pretty tough to understand but that 1 thing (LOL I think of Billy Crystal and Jack Palance when I hear that) even a child can understand it,then just enjoy life the best you can.Shoot I've been blessed beyond measure!Got a son 3 years sober from Alcohol,Cocaine and Crystal Meth.He is a staff member and a Minister for True Purpose Ministries in Blount County.He stayed in that program away from EVERYTHING for 2 years,no phone or TV.We got to visit every Sunday.He found a great wife that met him at one of the out reach ministries and stood by him the last year of rehab and they have been married over a year and expecting my 4th grandchild in 3 weeks.I couldnt be more proud.Gods justice system works just fine if you trust him.Yes my wife and my life was turned upside down when he told me in Feb 2017 but God is an Awesome God!I dont set around and question the what ifs and the how comes,if you do then I hope you find the answer you are looking for I found mine in 1985.May not really go with what you are asking but my wife showed me his Fathers day Quote on facebook and I got a little excited again and thought i might share it!!

Mitchell Gibbons (3rd from left) placed 4th overall in the Tony Colston Gunslinger QB Challenge held this weekend! He was 5th on Friday night, tied for 4th after the Saturday morning session, then pulled out 4th place overall on Saturday night. Great competition!

Thanks! With the way this year has been we certainly need things to get back to normal, or as close to it as possible. Our kids need to be back in school, they need the activities that come along with that, and our communities need high school sports, they have a way of holding us together, especially football.

I knew the whole story actually, however If i had owed a country like Germany money when Hitler was in power I'd probably have put it off a few more years. Try to give payment in humanitarian aid or something besides something that could be used to fund terror. Or hope for a regime change that wouldn't use it for bad things. That's just me though. Odd he did it on the way out and in secret. You'd think he didnt want anyone to confront him for it. Ir know about it until it was too late etc.

That's unfortunate. I hope one day you have a change of heart Pujo. I will pray for you personally out of the love Jesus showed for us on the cross. I hope you he heals your heart. Show grace — a godly response to irritation It’s normal to feel irritated or upset with other people, but God wants us to learn a different way to respond. As you read the following two passages, circle the words “bear with.” Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (Colossians 3:13) Responding to others with grace means “bearing with” (or graciously putting up with) people. It means acknowledging that everyone has areas of weakness and that we all are works in progress. It means loving people in spite of their personalities, habits, and faults. Jesus helped us understand this when he told his followers to love their enemies and to pray for those who persecuted them.

I'll play along... #1 - Because relatively speaking, we still know VERY little about the epidemiology/virology of this virus. That isn't even debatable, and yet people still want to debate that. #2 - Because we do not yet have a treatment (or vaccine) for this virus. Laugh if you want, but we at least have a flu vaccine, and even if we don't "pick" the right one each year, it is remarkably effective at reducing the severity of the flu symptoms (especially in the elderly). #3 - Because in the 21st century, we tend to do things differently, right, wrong, or indifferent. Influenza has been around for centuries; it wasn't discovered last year. The Spanish flu pandemic would have looked quite a bit different had it occurred this century. Here's a [rhetorical] question, 22. So why weren't we all practicing good hygiene to begin with? Shouldn't we have been washing our hands during flu season last year? Shouldn't we stay home when we are sick (same for our kids)? My hope is that we ALL have learned to be a little more hygienic and self-aware, especially during cold and flu season.

And to be honest, it’s one of the best non-district games in the state. Both teams and their fans aren’t complaining due to the fact that a 4 and a 5A teams are playing.

Gotta be Nolensville. They are no powerhouse however. I could be wrong.

I pray that someone grows a backbone and puts a stop to this nonsense!

Interesting data. Of the deaths recorded of HS and college age people the virus accounts for just over 1% or in another light 99% of deaths for that age group have not been related to the Coronavirus. The percentage is even smaller for MS aged children. So the discussion point is if schools are opening on time (not all may be opening on time with in class services) and they are not requiring masks in the class rooms, is the TSSAA guideline for conducting athletic activity risk mitigation or risk avoidance?

The hospitals closed elective procedures in March to make room for Covid patients. We were told a surge was coming that would overwhelm the hospitals. (that's why we were staying at home). The surge never came. We had convention centers, huge ships, and outdoor hospitals set up for COvid patients that never arrived. Hospitals had to lay off staff because they had no patients to treat. Now we have March, April, and May patients scheduled with June and July's. Hospitals are swamped with bypass surgeries, stent placements, joint replacements, etc. Things most patients do not consider elective. The media is making the full hospitals seem like they are all Covid cases.

Expose my kids to a much more serious environment? You just need to go kick rocks. My wife is a surgeon who about lost her job due to the shutdown and lack of surgeries being allowed to be performed and she is now working 6 days a week to get caught up. My family is aware we are in more danger when we move driving to our new house than the dangers of this virus. Keep drinking the political Kool-Aid. Do you know the CDC since late May has been including positive antibody tests into the daily positive count? Why is that? It is like they want this to continue. The death rate and hospitalization rate has plummeted since April. Now the news talks about ICUs being 85-90% filled, what the average citizen doesn't know is that hospitals have to keep that % there to stay financially viable. It is a common percentage. Luckily for our family we will have the means to provide our son a senior season, but many will not. Also be careful who you lecture on here about the the risks of the virus, so go ahead and go back and live in your bubble.

A lot of problems with every scenario except leave it alone and play as is. Baseball and basketball playing at the same time would be almost impossible for small schools. Arm conditioning, field maintenance, scheduling, and weather would be a nightmare.

Why not have the games at Wal-Mart or one of the grocery stores? Obviously you can't get the virus there.

We can have abortions, crawl all over each other to tear down a statue, paint black lives matter on the streets, barricade ourselves in a few blocks in a city all without consequence, but we can't play high school football in a small town on a Friday night......hmmm

There will be football this fall. It may be different than what everyone is used to and may not be convenient for everyone, mostly for fans. But I do believe there will be football. It’s hard to screw kids who have worked their tails off for years out of an entire season, especially Seniors who don’t have another year of eligibility. HS is not like the NFL or College. Those guys will be granted another year of eligibility and be paid regardless. Hs players don’t have either of those luxury’s. It’s time to get over this Covid stuff, quit listening to the doom and gloom news stations pumping everyone with horror for their own agendas and get back to life. Just my opinion

I agree with how you are counting it. I want to know hospitalizations, hosp. rates, deaths, and death rate. That said, I don't think it hurts to take a little extra precaution to prevent something if it can help. If it drops the transmission rate as little as .1, that makes a big difference over the long run with potential high-risk people being infected with it.

While you guys have been debating theology, I have been on the beach with my kids (all of them) and my grandkids (all of them). Family + beach = happy CougarDad. Please return to your debate.

There will not be a vaccine by January 2021. Probably should shut everything down and not allow anyone out of their house for at least 3 or 4 years. Government sends everybody a couple thousand every month. No jobs, economy collapses, that is what the fear mongers want. It’s COVID now, murder hornets next?

Revenge of the Nerds 5 has taken another turn yesterday when one of the Geeks that went to MHS that lives in Nashville contacted Nike and got a response and sent a picture of two scallywag girls holding a Rebel Flag which would have to been taken by one of them. He was asking all signers of the no rebels petition to follow along because Nike was listening. I wonder what his thoughts are that Nike is produced across seas with child labor at peanuts so they can pay all these ungrateful pro athletes a war pension leaving us to buy their garbage. I'm actually done with pro anything and I personally am glad major league baseball may not play or ever plays again. They can get a real job like the rest of us.

HTV I want you to know i agree with everything you just said. I am well aware of the people Maryville has been playing and for the record I have no problem with Maryville or Alcoa’s schedule. I agree other teams should focus on getting better. I think you just saw the short term of this conversation. For months Barney has been spewing about Alcoa and how they need to play up like I commented about maryville. I was not serious it was tongue and cheek directed at him.

Well just as expected they shut the topic down on the alumni site quick as I was fixing to go after that one girl for going into this drama about how upsetting it was to explain to her children why Maryville had the name Rebels and a Rebel Flag. I wanted to ask her in front of everyone what she told her children when her mother broke up the next door neighbors marriage when he ran into some money. That would of got rid of her.

Digging Deeper Into the Numbers 1 = Teams With Less Than 10 Losses: Maryville (7) 3 = Teams With Less Than 20 Losses: Greeneville (14), Alcoa (15), Whitehaven (18) 8 = Teams With Less Than 30 Losses: Oakland (22), Henry County/Greenback (25), Elizabethton (26), South Pittsburg/Huntingdon (27), Trousdale County (28), Fairview (29) 20 = Teams With Less Than 40 Losses: Hampton (31), Fulton/Blackman (32), Peabody/Coalfield/Beech/Oak Ridge (33), Union City/Covington/Dresden/Mt. Juliet (34), Knoxville West (35), Adamsville/Wayne County/Pearl-Cohn (36), Dobyns Bennett (37), Anderson County/Dyersburg (38), Lake County/Lexington (39)

Drove by the practice field and my eyes popped out of my head....wow

It's great to be 18.3 miles from the two BEST football schools in the State and even better being 15 minutes from....A William Blount.

I heard of one kid that left WB to go to Greenback this year and another one trying. Oh Shad may not have all his all his ducks in a row at WB but he sure runs a good feeder program for Greenback High.

Wait until that third child arrives in a couple of months. It's going to get worse.

You missed the point. Iran is still a rogue State sponsor of terror, hence why things were held up and they were and are under sanctions. Europe had them under sanctions as well until Bam Bam Barry let the out of that. There was also the issues when they got into a scrap with the U.S. Navy in the late 80s when they tried to take over control of the Gulf. I realize that if a dead possum in the WH has a Dem by its name, it well be revered and worshiped. BTW, Time is a leftist leaning rag like the NY Times.

Here’s what’s funny and somebody else other than HTV(because he got his feelings hurt and “blocked” me ) explain to me. What is the meaning behind this “playing the game” comment? What game is being played, what’s the definition of that statement? I want someone to make a statement and tell me about any school around here, and I wanna know names and exactly what they are doing, that’s “playing the game.” We obviously know who was involved in both instances at Powell by now and names. I’ll be waiting to hear back about this one lol. I love how every school in this area is put under the same blanket statement just because one person’s school/team got caught cheating....twice lol.

Your exactly right!Respecting what the flag stands for does in no way mean "serving".You served the American people and I thank you for that.AND when I STAND AND SALUTE the FLAG I thank all of you that fought and DIED for our rights and this GREAT Country we live in. And YES I still get the hairs standing on the back of my neck when I hear the National Anthem and I see that GREAT flag flying!When I see our flag disrespected the way it has been,whether burned,stomped or knealt to it burns me up!Thank you again and all the others on here that serve.

Trump didnt do it though did he.

Not sure why that idiot spearchucker is not banned, if you look at his history it’s all garbage and racially motivated. Yeah, everyone needs a random mouth-breather from Ashland City giving us his take on Metro schools...

Satan uses them also. That seems more like the case in this deal. Being Humble and as a Child is far from this man,they again I can see a lot of Childish tendencies,name calling ,little fits. Needs a good spanking for lying so much. I could see Jesus bragging about grabbing women by the snatch because he was a big deal in his time. WOW

+1

Bush and Romney are RINO's. That group is the reason Trump is President.

So you think it's a scam? 40,OOO more deaths in 4 1/2 months than the whole 10 years of the Viet Nam war. I know 3 people who have had it, 2 died and the other said he was so sick he wanted to die. Calling it a scam might be just a little over the top.

Anybody Mentions The Rebels And I'm Locking The Room!
